The Law Library has received the first issue of Jus Gentium: Journal of International Legal History. It is the first dedicated journal in the United States to address the history of international law. Much of modern scholarship on the history of international law is preoccupied not with international law, but with international legal doctrine; the doctrinal writings of remarkably few individuals dominate the discourse while the rest remain unseen or overlooked. This journal will encourage further exploration in the archives, for new materials and confirmation of the accuracy of past uses, but welcoming the continued reassessment of international legal history in all of its dimensions. Jus Gentium is a biannual interdisciplinary journal commencing January 2016.
Editor: William E. Butler, John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor of Law and International Affairs, Penn State Dickinson Law
